Hi Michael - I LOVE this visual and it's perfect for getting across to sellers all the places you use to create your online presence! 

Any chance you'd care to share that chart with someone who's not a competitor of yours??  ;-)

Great job on this!
Ann

It's becoming absolutely amazing how many third party services there are to list properties for free nowadays.

Nice visual of the plan and I think you'll agree, there is one of them there that will beat out all of the rest hands down. I like how you put it under Viral Marketing because when you think about it, it is the original Viral Marketing platform.

Good job putting that together.  Point2Homes has something similar but I do not post on all the one listed and do others that are not. I need to put one together that has where I do post.  Great idea.

Good marketing resources.  I have used some of them but never heard of many of them as well.  I now have some new ideas for new marketing tools.  Thank you.

There are a few that I haven't used, but this is great work

Great idea -- what is the old saying ------------- a picture is worth a thousand words!

Thats awesome!  I think I might just borrow it!

Very cool visually. Sellers need to see something like that.

Michael - very cool!  I'm going to have to incorporate something similar

Michael, the graphic says it all. You made each point perfectly.

Good Post!

Ann,

I would be appy to share with a non competitor and even someone on my own turf, the key is not where I market, its how I utilize these resources to get maximum targeting and reach, the internet is not about throwing spaghetti at a wall, its about strategically reaching the right audience as often as possible. So feel free to borrow and share. I'm sure I've pulled a tip or two off your blog.

This is quite good and am sure it is effective with your clients. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work.  I have something similar to this already, but you've done a good job of updating to include many of the tools available to us now.  Thanks.

This is awesome. And it works, i have ben using this type of thing for 2 years now. Clients understand that the internet is where lookers are at. WWW.HARTMANNTEAM.COM

very cool, great resource, all i need now is some realistic sellers.  Nice work

Michael- Great visual.  My questions would be, "Which sites of all these, are your most effective?  Do you have a ranking based on actual leads generated? Do you track every lead from all these sights?"

Great marketing resources! I have used many of them but never heard of some of them, I'm going to check these websites!

Great visual.  Much better than a list of sites or spouting off the names...I never can remember all my listings populate to.

I've been thinking of creating something similar as well.  Good work.

thanks for all your comments, to be honest and not just because I worked there but the best source of straight views and visibility is the REALTOR.com Network, they are by far the industry leader in eyeballs and they win the visibility contest hands down. Conversion is completely different story. In the next few weeks I'll be posting some personla research and insight into the est ways to strategically market properties. Thanks again for reading this post.

Good point Michael... I've noticed that posting to the MLS alone just doesn't cut it anymore. I post every new listing to 12 web sites as well- I've found my last two buyers this way.

I liked the visual. just like other mentioned, a picture is worth a 1000 words. And that says it all!

I think its overwhelming but I believe that is the feeling we are after! Good Luck and Best Wishes

That's great.  I love the irony of the five points...  I have a one point marketing plan... Sell the house.

; ^) 

That really is a very nice visual piece. My only concern is that the star is too big and maybe it could be replaced with a for sale sign. But really, i do like it.

Great visual, thanks for sharing.

Wow, that is fantastic!  I need to create something like this.  I just need to figure out how....

Very Nicely Done. A great Visual.

Michael,  I didn't read the comments, so this may be has been said once or twice... I think this is really good because it helps people see the number of ways you market in one shot.  Going through even a few pages, I think, causes people to go into overwhelm and stop hearing or seeing. 

Michael, excellent visual. I use one similiar but I see you have more sites on it. But, you are correct is is great for sellers to see this and understand where their listings will be on the internet.

Something like this would be the perfect compliment to the collage I created  and use of photos showing RE/MAX marketing like magazine ads, primetime tv ads, news commentaries, little league sponsorships, professional and college sports team sponsorships, Koment and Children's Miracle Network Sponsorship, etc.  Great job on this, and congratulations!  Thanks for sharing. 

P.S. - Don't forget to add Localism

Michael, I will add my voice to the consensus, great visual.  That should get the attention of any seller!

Micheal great visual aid great way yo communicate to the seller. Good luck, Will Merritt

Great job!  Sometimes just presenting a list to your Sellers does not get the point across.  This is a great idea.  Thanks for sharing.

Great visual representation Michael!  This gets the point across definitely!

Thanks for all the kind words, I hope to reciprocate in my next few posts, I plan on breaking down each channel with Demo info and best practices on getting higher visibility.

Michael -- This is great, as a highly visual person I love stuff like this. . .it creates a clear message.

That is very good - I also like the visual you created. I hope you get lots of listings with it!

Very powerful--I'm sure it will impress your seller's.

This is a great idea Michael, how has it worked for you?

Michael,  I seem to be in the great minority here, but when I first saw the visual I found it a little overwhelming and cluttered.  The icons all seemed to blur into each other's fields and it may not be very clear which tool goes with what aspect of your plan (especially if the seller is not very web literate and doesn't know what some of them are).   If there were some way to better define each point spatially it might be easier for the seller to see immediately what tools are part of each specific point.   Just my two cents, since you asked.....

Michael - I have found that majority of MLS users are sunday drivers or tire kickers. Having said that the internte is the number 1 place to be. We get more genuine leads that are convertable from the web than all other sources combined. As you say its not in knowing where to place your listings its about maximizing your reach and ROI 

Amy- I'm glad you said that, this visual could be overwhelming but the key is to use it startegically based on the seller, You have to qualify each appointment you go on, are they savvy, a novice or just don't care just get it sold. Each presentation is different and depends on the needs of the homeowner. Like I said I have a Powerpoint Deck with over 30 slides on internet marketing, exposure etc, but I only pull it out on large scale projects with multiple decision makers and marketing people, this is a quick and easy visual that creates conversations with your potential client.....thanks for your input  Michael

Hi Michael - I like the concept, but for someone who isn't familiar with all of these sites it may be a little tough to distinguish where each category begins and ends. Within the context of your presentation, I think it brings a lot of value.

I like where you are going with it, I just wonder if you made the 5 points bigger it would be easier to find them and distinguish them as something different than the "links"

Michael,

Unfortuantely I am unable to view the presentation - computers issues on the system I am logged in to - but I am dying to know more.  I will try to login on my own system at another time but in the interim my question to you and/or any AR's is what do you think are the best (i.e. most effective, result produsing) websites for listing property beyond Realtor.com? 

Michael, Excellent idea, very visual, can be use for Buyer or Seller presentation, very usefull.

Thanks,

Michael, this graphic is terrific. Very savvy, Super effective!   I've been looking for a meaningful way to explain the different parts of my marketing system: yours is superb!  

Michael...  Outstanding visual!  Very powerful, seller's should be impressed with all the ways that you are promoting their listings and more than likely getting buyer leads. 

Nice presentation my power-point need to be updated I might borrow a few ideas from yours thanks.

IT LOOKS GREAT!!!!  I LIKE THE FIRST MORE SIMPLE VERSION BEST.  BUT BOTH LOOK GREAT.  I HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN MY LISTING PACKAGE BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK THIS GREAT.

THANKS FOR SHARING.

Hi Michael!

Superb job on this. Very impressive.It looks great.It is going wow both buyers and sellers.

How do you feel about a nice New Jersey Realtor using your idea?

This place is built on the sharing of information for the good of the entire community..feel free

Michael - Awesome visual, looks great!

Either one looks very good. Still, I do have a couple questions.

Where's the MLS? Isn't the MLS part of the plan? If it's assumed, because, of course your homes are listed on the MLS, then, let me ask: Do the majority of your listings sell because they're on Google, Trulia, ActiveRain, Zillow, Flickr, CyberHomes, and the rest of these logos, or do they sell -- the majority of them, or what portion? -- because an agent working with a buyer found it by an MLS search and you had good info, tour, photos, on the MLS and they brought their buyer and a sale resulted?

Is there any non-web-based marketing of your listings that you do? Just Listed postcards, calling area agents, newspaper ads, open house, etc.?

Is this part or all of your listing marketing?     

Very eye catching designs. I am just getting into the web side, glad to know there is so much out there if utilized correctly.

David, there are 2 icons for the MLS, one for the SoCal and another for the MLS Alliance which is a group MLS systems that joined in our area to increase exposure. This is also the Interactive marketing portion. Traditional marketing is an integral part of the ENTIRE plan, I do tons of flyers, broker opens, and local neighborhood coverage

Nice work David, I like the visual of the star and how the image shows so many places where you are advertising.  Sellers don't know how much work we are doing for them unless we inform them and this is a great visual to show just that!

Michael, this is a great image on an Online Presence!!!  Congrats on the feature, great job and keep it up.

Wow, awesome visual!  Now what is this 'web' thing-y again?

Hi Michael!

Superb job on this. Very impressive.It looks great.It is going wow both buyers and sellers.

How do you feel about a nice New Jersey Realtor using your idea?

Michael, fabulous idea...thanks for sharing. It really must work well for you I bet.

I use something similar to this but not to that extent - great job!

Wow Mike, you are so smart. I love working with such a smart marketer.

This is really great. It is easy to understand and a great visual. Thanks for sharing.

Wow...I love this visual. I am running out the door to an appointment but I am bookmarking to come back and read all of the comments on it! Thanks for posting and letting my brain run wild with ideas!
